Resumo: |
Background: The epidemiological rise of metabolic syndrome (MS) is directly related to the exponential increase of added sugar consumption. Studies describes that MSmetabolic disorders, mainly insulin resistance and obesity, are related to development of oxidative stress, cognitive declines and dementias, and neuronal senescence acceleration. Even with several evidences correlating MS to neuronal damage, the molecular mechanisms involved are still unclear, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress), in this context, could be placed like an intermediary condition that interconnects those morbidities. Objective: To investigate the deleterious effects of hippocampal ER stress about progression of cognitive, behavioral and motor declines in rats with metabolic syndrome-induced by sucrose-rich diet in different ages. Methods: Weaned Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: two control groups (CTR, n = 7-9), fed a standard diet and followed up to 3 and 6-months-old, respectively; and two obese groups (HSD, n = 7), fed a sucrose-rich diet (25% sucrose) followed by the same periods. Was assessed in these groups: MS development; redox profile; Cognitive, behavioral and motor functions; And the hippocampal gene/protein expression of UPR sensors (Ire1α, Perk and Atf6), chaperones (Grp78, Grp94, Pdi, Calnexin and Calreticulin), neuronal plasticity (Bdnf), antioxidant defense (Nrf2), apoptosis (Bcl2, Chop and Parp-1) and senescence (p53 and p21). For aging control, rats at 20 months of age (OLD, n = 7) fed standard chow were included as aging control for gene/protein expression and neurological assessments. Results: The sucrose-rich diet was successful in establish the SM-phenotype. At 3 months, we observed central obesity even with lower energy intake, fasting and fed dysglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hapatic ectopic fat deposit, decreased lipolysis rates, glucose intolerance and hepatic insulin resistance. In unpublished data, we observed mild lipid peroxidation without exepressive antioxidant enzymes activity, and absence of peripheral insulin resistance. In animals with 6 months, we observed a deepening of metabolic dysfunctions encountered in 3-months-old. In addition we observed weight gain, free fatty acids, hyperinsulinemia, peripheral insulin resistance, increased lipid peroxidation, higher SOD, CAT and GPx reduction activity in 6-months-old rats. The lipolysis rate wasn't performed. Regarding the neurofunctional assessment at 3-months-old, the animals presented motor deficit and anxiogenic behavior, however without cognitive dysfunctions. In 6-months-animals, we observed anxiogenic behavior and important motor and cognitive impairments (learning and memory), similar to OLD group. Hippocampal molecular analysis revealed a different signaling between HSD groups of 3 and 6-months. In HSD at 3 months, we observed a switch-over from UPR-adaptive to pro-apoptotic signaling, marked by increased gene expression of Perk, Atf6 and Pdi A2 (adaptive), reduction of Grp78 and Bcl2, and increases of Chop and Caspase 3 (Apoptotic). In 6-months-HSD, we observed a complete failure of UPR adaptive signaling (UPR sensors and chaperones) and increased apoptotic signaling, featured by Bcl2 reduction and increased gene/protein expression of Chop. Additionally, we observed a reduction in the Bdnf gene expression and protein cleavage of Parp-1 compatible to calpain presence (necrosis/apoptosis marker). The expressions found in the 6-month-HSD were similar to OLD group, but the cell death markers (Chop and Calpain) were found only in HSD. As expected, senescence markers (p53 and p21) were increased in the OLD group and only p21 shown increased in HSD. Conclusions: Our data set supports that prolonged exposure to sucrose-rich diet promotes SM and oxidative stress, which disrupt hippocampal ER homeostasis, leading to senescence acceleration and cell death, and subsequently leads to severe cognitive, behavioral and motor impairments. |
